Hi all,
Discovery is now approaching the ISS at a rate of 8 km/hr. At 14:30 UT, it was
13.2 km behind ISS. With its nose pointing downward and the paypload bay toward
th ISS, Discovery will pass 185 m under the Station, go up and pass 120 m in
front of it and complete its manoeuver 75 m above.
ISS is currently rotating itself to be in the docking attitude. The Unity
module was the leading object in the stack that will get vertically aligned
with Progress toward Earth and Unity on top. This attitude should be attained
at 15:15 UT.
The Ku band antenna is still not working.
